Systematic reviews and meta-analyses provide the highest level of evidence to help inform policy practice, yet their rigorous nature is associated with significant time economic demands. The screening titles abstracts most consuming part review process analysts required thousands articles manually, taking on average 33 days. New technologies aimed at streamlining have provided initial promising findings, there are limitations current approaches barriers widespread use these tools. In this...
The statistical synthesis of quantitative effects within primary studies via meta-analysis is an important analytical technique in the scientific toolkit modern researchers. As with any method or technique, knowledge weaknesses that might render findings limited potentially erroneous as well strategies by which to mitigate these biases essential for high-quality evidence. In this paper, we focus on one prevalent consideration meta-analytical investigations, namely dependency among effects....
This multi-study paper reports the development and initial validation of an inventory for Characteristics Resilience in Sports Teams (CREST).In four related studies, 1225 athletes from Belgium United Kingdom were sampled.The first study provided content validity item set.The second explored factor structure CREST, yielding evidence but no conclusive results.In contrast, third fourth a two-factor measure, reflecting (a) team's ability to display resilient characteristics (b) vulnerabilities...
Abstract Stress is an important consideration for understanding why individuals take part in limited or no physical activity. The negative effects of stress on activity do not hold everyone, so examinations possible resilience resources that might protect from the harmful are required. Accordingly, we conducted a measurement‐burst study with 53 university students over 6‐month period to examine dynamics among stress, activity, sedentary behavior, and resources. Participants completed three...
Stress is an important consideration for understanding why individuals take part in limited or no physical activity (PA).The effects of stress on PA does not hold everyone, so examinations possible moderators that protect from the harmful are required.Aligned with a resilience framework, individual resources (e.g., hope, self-efficacy) may buffer maladaptive stress, such people who have access to these greater quantity be more "resilient" deleterious PA.This study was designed test this...
The majority of past work on athletes' use psychological skills and techniques (PSTs) has adopted a variable-centered approach in which the statistical relations among study variables are averaged across sample. However, variable-centered-analyses exclude possibility that PSTs may be used tandem or combined different ways practice competition settings. With this empirical gap mind, purposes were to identify number type profiles elite PSTs, examine differences between these clusters terms...
There is intuitive and practical appeal to the idea of emergent resilience, that is, sustaining healthy levels functioning or recovering quickly after some degree deterioration following exposure heightened risk vulnerability.Scholars typically utilise mean indices identify qualitatively distinct latent subgroups individuals who share similar patterns change over time.We propose showcase an alternative, yet complementary operationalisation resilience via temporal changes in within-person...
Adversities refer to events that are characterized by perceived or actual threat human functioning. Often considered deleterious for health and well-being, recent work supports an alternative picture of the effects adversity on functioning, such a moderate amount - when compared with none high levels can be beneficial. We extend this body in current study considering breadth type adversities experienced simultaneously (referred as polyadversity), focus individual profiles lifetime...
Purpose The iPro Cube is a small portable point-of-care device designed to analyse salivary markers of stress in user-friendly manner (e.g., fast, convenient). Our aim was test the reliability and validity measure cortisol α -amylase as compared common laboratory standard method (ELISA immunoassay) prior after moderate intensity exercise. Methods study repeated measures, pre-registered design, statistical framework that incorporated knowledge directly into estimation process. Twenty-nine...
Early intervention within First Episode Psychosis (FEP) recovery efforts support functional in several ways, including increasing levels of (1) physical activity (2) life skills, and (3) social connectivity. Sport has been proposed as an ideal platform to target these three goals simultaneously. The primary aims were assess the feasibility utilising sport-based skills FEP test components. secondary aim was evaluate potential benefits. Seven young people (aged 15-25 years) with participated a...
